has had calls from developers who state they have filed plats but have had no
information that they will have to pay for sewer and water. Mr. Hyde reported
that he written to all developers who had filed preliminary plats; that he

DIRECTIONAL FLON INTERSECTION AT W.63RD STREET AND HIGHWAY NO. 100. Mayor
Fro Tem Fronk introduced Mr. E. J. McCubrey, District Engineer, Minnesota
Highway Department, who explained the proposed plan in some detail. Mr.
McCubrey told the large audience that the plan now being presented to the
Council is a "Preliminary or General Plan of Proposed Directional Flow
Intersection'"; that it is customary for the Highway Department to present
such a preliminary plan to municipalities for their consideration before
going ahead with expenditures for detailed construction plans. He stated
that the plan has been designed to accommodate traffic estimated for 1975;
that highway construction is aimed at this goal so that it will be unnedessary
to enlarge highways between now and then.
"directional flow" intersection differs from the "cloverleaf" in that traffic
wishing to turn left actually does turn left in the "directional flow",
whereas on a "cloverleaf" traffic must go to the right in order to turn left.
He stated that the directional flow is the modern type of intersection; that
there are a number throughout the country, now, although he cannot think of
one in Minnesota; that this type of intersection is much easier for traffic
to negotiate than the cloverleaf; that the Highway Department staff feels
this is the type of intersection which the State must have at this location
within the next fifteen years. Mr. McCubrey stated that the area necessary
for a directional flow intersection is about the same as that required for
a cloverleaf.
he was requesting Village Council approval so that the State may proceed with
detailed design, which will go along with the complete design of Normandale
Road from W.48th Street to W.79th Street.
Mr. Fronk, in opening the meeting to questions from the floor, asked Vi.
McCubrey just what he considers to be the additional expense of constructing
an intersection of the directional flow type, over that of a conventional
cloverleaf.
the directional flow will cost about 1/3 more than the cloverleaf.
Bronk then asked, "AS I understand it, the amount of land required for a
directional flow intersection does not exceed the amount of land required
for a cloverleaf, except that the land to be acquired would be in a different
direction. Is that right?" Mr. McCubrey answered, "Practically right , yes.
Because in the cloverleaf we must take land outside the legs." Kr. Fronk
then asked Mr. McCubrey to explain to the audience "what the.xost of the

second, how a pedestrian is to cross the intersection.
matters will be worked out in detailed planning; that, concerning pedestrians, it
must first be ascertained that a pedestrian crossing is warranted.
An inguiry was made as to the elevation of the East road, and whether it
would be higher than surrounding homes.
Bridge the East road will be 20 feet below the present grade of Normandale Road;
at 500 feet East of the bridge the road will be at grade; then there is a fill of
approximately nine feet, tabling off to about five feet, until, at Concord Avenue
the East road will cross at practically its present grade.
the Southease bridge it will be three feet above the natural ground; that at
about 800 feet East there will be a fill of twenty-four feet.
Ilk. Dahl, 6220 IQrnan, asked, "How definite are plans for this intereection?"
He explained that his reason for asking the question is that the Village had
reserved a strip against building, then relaxed its restrictions; that now
several homes had been built within the last year, which are to be taken under
this new plan. Mr. Fronk replied that the amount of >land and number of homes
which will be taken for this type of intersection does not differ materially
from that which would be taken for the conventional cloverleaf; that apparently
the number of homes required would be comparable under both systems.
construction, and Nr. bkCubrey replied that construction should start about July 1,
1958, should Council now approve the plan; that Highway Department intends to
pmoceed with condemnation very shortly.
ktr. R.L. Marthia, 5126 Roberts Place, reminded Council that the last four
houses constructed in his block will be taken by this intersection; that these
lots were not included in the original "cloverleaf" plan,
Nr. Leonard Gebo inquired as to whether the Highway Department has any
control over issuance of building permits and was informed by Mr. ElcCubrey that
the Department has no control until it acquires the property. Mr. Gebo then
inquired as to why he has been sent to the Highway Department with regard to *
a proposed building,permit for the corner of Sherwood Road and Eden Avenue.
btanager Hyde explained that there is no ban on permits in this area; that it is
the policy of the Village Council, when it is known that the State Highway
Department contemplates construction in any area, to refer prospective builders
to the Department for information concerning their properties.

Mr. John Sigvertsen, 6400 Shenvood Ave., asked whether the Highway Department
has definitely rejected the original cloverleaf . Manager Hyde explained-that
the original cloverleaf was planned in connection with,the proposed crosstown
highway; that, subsequen'tly, the Highway Department has employed consulting-
engineers for Highway #LOO; that these engineers.presented one cloverleaf
which was not honored;-that an elongated cloverleaf was presented and rejected
this spring; that-this present plan has received Highway Department approval.
An inquiry was received as to whether the State intends to go through
with its intersection regardless of the status of crosstown highway plans,
and whether the Village intends to go along with the State on building its
own road.
is that the county will put money into its budget for acquisition of land in
1958; that the County will purchase right-of-way from the Railroad Tracks East
to Xerxes Avenue and Ilillage will acquire land West of railroad tracks (which
includes two small homes, but most of which is now vacant and which it is
proposed to acquire upon filing of plats, by dedication).
Mr. E.C. Stow asked why the Highway Department is pushing W.62nd Street
rather than W.50th Street, when there is so little traffic at 62nd and so
much at 50th. Mr, McCubrey replied that there is no traffic at 62nd because
there is no road; that the 50th Street intersection is also on the designing
board,
damage a lot more property than a cloverleaf; that there will be more people
close to the roadway and that it will depreciate the values of real estate.
He asked that the Council refuse to be stampeded into an approval this
evening .
Mr. Hyde asked Mr. McCubrey concerning relative speeds on the cloverleaf
versus those of the directional flow intersection; and Mr. McCubrey answered
that on the directional flow it is unnecessary to reduce speed at all when
turning.
Zimmerman (while County 'Engineer) had told an Edina audience in public meeting
that the cloverleaf at Highways #lo0 and #12 consumed nine acres, asked FrTr.
McCubrey what the directional flow intersection will take. Mr. RcCubrey
corrected Mr.Dunker, stating that the aforementioned cloverleaf consumes
49 acres; that he knows because he purchased them; that he believes the
over-all land consumption will be about the same for the directional flow
as for the modern type cloverleaf; that another directional flow is being
planned for Highways #8 and #10 in Northeast Minneapolis.

Highway Department in acquiring the land.
as the Department has the Village council's approval, it will proceed with
acquisition; it will take approximately 90 days to run down titles; then, an

Court; the Court appoints three appraisers, after a public hearing for which

PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENT FOR STORM =VER IMPROVEMENT NO. 35. Clerk
submitted Affidavit of Publication in Edina-Morningside Courier August 22nd and 29th,
of "Notice of Hearing", which affidavit was approved as to form and ordered placed
on file, A plat of the proposed Assessment District, also showing the route of
the storm sewer, was shown; and Manager Hyde read the Tabulation of the Assess-
ment at $91,988.01, as against 6,067,811 Assessable Square Feet, for $001!316 per
Square Foot, compared with Improvement Hearing Estimate of $.01316.
then presented to the Council a petition received this morning, carrying names
of owners of 98 properties within the proposed assessment district, protesting
the proposed method of assessment.
contention of your petitioners that the benefit of the storm sewer project falls
to a greater degree upon the Birchcrest Additions than to the surrounding area.
Since special assessments must be based upon the special benefit to the property
involved and must be measured by the enhancement of the property value resulting
therefrom, it is the contention of your petitioners that any special assessment
proposed would be unfair and unreasonable in so far as it contemplates equal
assessment for the entire proposed assessment area". Petition went on to ask
that "the total cost of the project should be divided into two equal parts, one-
half of the total cost should be assessed to the Birchcrest Additions and the
other one-half of the total cost should be assessed against all of the property
within the assessment district, including the Birchcrest Additions, on a square
foot basis".
as a matter of information, relative assessments had been calculated in accord
with petition and that if petition is honored the assessment for the Birchcrest
Additions would be increased to $.03264 per Square Foot, the balance decreased to
$.00758 per Square Foot.
Attorney Jack Brown, 5$108 Benton Avenue, and Mr. Thomas Evans, 5816 Code
Avenue, representing the petitioners, supported the petition by the use of two
aerial photographs and an overlay, in attempting to prove that reclamation of
swamp land by the developer of the Birchcrest Additions by the re-routing of
surface waters and the changing of Ponds A and B in the area dhas made the
storm sewer necessary and that the storm sewer results in more benefit to the
Birchcrest areas than to the balance of'the proposed assessment district.
Dr, D. AI. LlcCampbell, 6004 Birchcrest Drive, Mr. James Kelly, 6816 Birch-
crest Drive, and Mr. R.M. Sinks, 6012 Code Avenue--all residents in the
Birchcrest Additions--protested that their properties receive no more benefit
from the improvement than any other properties in the area; that, while they
will not protest an equal assessment they will most certainly protest such an
assessment as is advocated by the petition.
55r. R. A. Dolz, 6317 Warren Avenue, objected that the water from his
property drains away from the storm sewer, rather than into it; and Consulting
€ngineer Balich agreed that the direction of flow divided at Warren Avenue; that
the boundary line of the assessment district should be moved to the centerline
Mr, Gilbert, 6324 Warren, whose property is across the street

Kr. Balich agreed, but told Mr. Koontz and.the Council that the pond about which
Mr. Koontz speaks is on private property and that when the lots are filled and
houses are built along Valley View Road, drainage will be into this storm sewer.
Kr. A. G. Capron, 5101 W.58th Street,.complained that the drainage in this
area goes to Benton Avenue and washes out this street.
because of the fall from 58th Street to Benton it is true that some of the water
from W.58th Street does wash down to Benton Hill, but that some of it continues

Mr. Thomas Evans inquired as to what disposition had been made of a-letter
dated Iflay 15, signed by himself and Mr. Oscar E. Johnson, 5808 Code Avenue,
giving as the reason for their exclusion from the assessment district their
opinion that the great majority of surface water on their properties is retained
by these properties because of their saucerlike shape. Nlanager Hyde reported
that, upon receipt of this letter, the two properties had been checked by the
Engineers; that, said properties had been checked again before the assessment
hearing this evening and that it has been determined that said properties should
remain in the assessment district.
for a Storm Sewer invariably involves a dispute between the owners of high lots, i-
who actually have no immediate drainage problems although their water drains
onto the property of their neighbors on the lower tracts, and the owners of
the lower properties which have the immediate drainage problems resulting from
the wash from the high lots, stated he feels that the proposed Storm Sewer
Assessment should be adopted as calculated, with the exception thatkthe area

some length, Nianager Hyde reporting that Village has rejected-a-plan to
locate the building at the-North lot line, abutting Fairfax Avenue, for-the
reason that this would not provide adqquate off-street loading facilities;
that the Village is requesting that the building be-set thirty feet farther
South--which will provide for both off-street loading and for employee
parking at the rear of the building. Dr. Allis, owner of the property, and
the National Food representatives, protested this arrangement because it
will deprive the store of parking space for twenty-nine vehicles-at the
front of the store.
issuance of the permit because of the bad traffic situation which'will result;
with heavy semi-trailer delivery trucks using Fairfax Avenue, which is a
residential street. Rssidents proposed that building be located in such
a manner as to allow large trucks to maneuver within the parking lot--to
drive in off either Valley View or Wooddale to the rear of the building
and make a circle back, rather than to use Eairfax.
resident objected to use of Valley View Road by these large vehicles.
the National Foods representatives stated that loading could be accomplished
as wished by the residents--but only until Dr. Allis adds to his building.
Explaining to all concerned that the property is zoned 'tCommunity Store",
that a grocery store is a land useage allowed in a community store district
and that, therefore, the Council cannot refuse to issue a permit providing
all stipulations of the ordinance are met, Trustee Fronk suggested that
the neighbors, Dr. Allis and the National Foods people meet to see if "some-
thing satisfactory to all'" cannot be worked out, bringing the result of their
meeting back to !.tanager Hyde for his consideration. Action deferred pending
such meeting.
